I am getting my set of winter wheels ready for the upcoming season, and have just ordered four new snow tires for the rims. My question is should I go ahead and replace the TPMS sensor now, or wait and see how long I can run them... They are the original sensors that came with the wheels on my 2012 R60-S4. (I have turned them into my dedicated snow tires, after picking up a set of 18" Turbofan wheels that I use with dedicated summer tires.)

I'd prefer to not have to send the extra cash on four new sensors as they were all working properly this past spring when I took the wheels off for summer. But since Im replacing the tires, it would make easy access for replacement at this point. I guess I just dont know what the life expectancy is out of them...

Thoughts / opinions are appreciated...

 

stated life of the sendors is 5 years by beru

probably last longer than that

i am in the same boat, my 12 all4 needs new winters and my sensors are now 4.5 years old ... i am going to replace them and next spring, i will be needing a new set of summers and will replace those by then 5 yo sensors
